Happy People
Peace Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All you happy people let me know
How do you do it, how you keep for so long
I'm a bad computer, slow to load
I disconnected from you and i learned to learn

Do you feel colder?
Now you spent the summer again
Slowly getting older
Were you even happy then
Sometimes I feel like we're made out of stone
Trying to move but there's nowhere to go

All you happy people, where'd you go?
When the season leaves you all alone
Patience has no virtue, it never had
I never tried to hurt you, you owe me that

Do you feel colder?
Now you spent the summer again
Slowly getting older
Were you even happy then
Sometimes I feel like we're made out of stone
Trying to move but there's nowhere to go





Where did all the happy people go?

Overall Meaning

The song Happy People by Peace is a reflection on the difficulty of maintaining happiness and connection in the fast-paced, demanding world we live in. The singer is addressing the "happy people" directly, asking them how they manage to maintain their happiness and connection with others. The lyric "I'm a bad computer, slow to load" suggests that the singer struggles with keeping up with the pace of life and feels disconnected from others as a result.


The chorus of the song's lyrics express a sense of disillusionment with the passing of time and the pressure to constantly be happy, as the world around us changes. The line "Sometimes I feel like we're made out of stone / Trying to move but there's nowhere to go" paints a picture of the struggle to navigate life's challenges, despite feeling trapped and stuck.


The second verse is a reflection on the transience of happiness and the loneliness that can come with it. The singer laments that "when the season leaves you all alone", even the happiest people can feel lost and disconnected. The chorus is repeated, emphasizing the idea that happiness is fleeting, and that even those who appear happy on the surface can be struggling underneath.


Overall, Happy People conveys a sense of unease and longing for connection in a world that often prioritizes productivity and material success over emotional well-being. The lyrics are a poignant reminder that happiness is an elusive and impermanent state, and that we must work to maintain our connections with others in order to weather life's ups and downs.
